Our Front Door Decoration
Many families here in Israel have door decorations that say their family's name. It usually says "Mishpachat Cohen (or whatever the family name is)" or "Beit Cohen," meaning "Cohen Family" or "Cohen House," respectively. Of course, some families get very creative with the presentation of their family name. Sarah's cousins, the Bekins, have the sign on their house that says, in ancient Hebrew script, "Bekin House"
For our front door piece, we wanted something that said, "Mishpachat Gimbel," since we hope to take this piece wherever we live, and not just use it with one house. We also wanted something that had a little Israeli flavor. Lastly, we have seen these wood paintings throughout town that just looked perfect for our style. Thus, the piece below! We are thrilled with it and cannot wait to hang it up on our door in Los Angeles.
